glibc 2.25 error during install

[Leo Butler]

Hi Carlos,

Here you go:

bash-4.1$ grep makeinfo config.log
configure:4843: checking for makeinfo
configure:4859: found /auto/ins-tools/linux_cel69/usr/bin/makeinfo
configure:4870: result: makeinfo
configure:4885: checking version of makeinfo
ac_cv_prog_MAKEINFO=makeinfo
MAKEINFO='makeinfo'

bash-4.1$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo GNU texinfo 4.13
touch (GNU coreutils) 8.30

There is a /usr/bin/makeinfo on the system, but it's not being used. I
intentionally added the Gentoo Prefix EPREFIX bin paths into the front of
the PATH variable before beginning to be absolutely sure newly built tools
are found in the correct location. I think the bootstrap script provided by
Prefix does that already, though.
